N2 - European maritime border management is a complex and multifaceted task. EURMARS innovates border surveillance in Europe by addressing the main challenges of irregular migration attempts, smuggling, trafficking, as well as management of search and rescue operations and oil spill observation and monitoring in parallel with the coordination and cooperation among different authorities and agencies at the national and EU levels. EURMARS implements and intends to validate a 24/7 surveillance platform with the following characteristics: (i) provision for the integration of existing and future data sources and services; (ii) utilisation and clustering of high-altitude technology, satellite imagery, UAVs, and ground-based sensors into a joint surveillance capability to provide continuous complementary data; (iii) innovative coupling of sensors data with data fusion, AI analytics, risk assessment, and alarming functionality; (iv) flexible interoperable surveillance platform with multiauthority cooperation capabilities and verified easy-to-integrate potential for next-generation platforms and systems; and (v) performance benchmark platform to ensure acceptability by all stakeholders, including extensive technical and user acceptance tests and ethical and legal impact assessments.
